A few one-off assignments, several quotes and an unpaid invoice can already become an awkward pile of documents. Keep a clear view as your workload changes.

## Count documents, not just customers

A small business can have few clients but many invoices. A deposit and a final instalment are two invoices. Quotes that are not accepted still count towards the quotes you create.

Consider both an ordinary month and a busy one. For one-off assignments, document volume often matters more to plan selection than your business category.

## Example: a business with varied assignments

| Situation               | What to record              | What to check                |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| New assignment          | Quote with a defined scope  | Approval and agreed price    |
| Work in two instalments | Split and invoice dates     | Count both invoices          |
| Invoice still unpaid    | Due date and invoice status | Whether a reminder is needed |

An account saves client details and shows paid and outstanding invoices. Your bookkeeper can access issued invoices through a separate bookkeeper account. This helps with handover; it does not maintain the rest of your accounts.

## Start with what you need

For occasional PDFs, create individual invoices without subscribing. For saved clients, quotes and a dashboard, compare subscriptions using your expected volume and required features.

### How is this different from the regular-clients page?

This page addresses changing assignments and a small invoice workload. If you bill the same clients and amounts every month, see the guidance on recurring invoices. That workflow may require a different subscription even at low volumes.

## A good fit if

- Your customers and assignments change rather than repeating every month
- You want to create quotes and invoices from one account
- You want your bookkeeper to read issued invoices

## Not the right choice if

- You need a till, webshop or stock management at the centre of your administration
- You need full accounting, annual accounts and tax filings in one package
